Abstract
A method comprising causing a simulation machine for molecular dynamic simulation to determine that a topological distance that separates two particles is less than a threshold. The simulation machine includes nodes connected by a network. The nodes collectively representing a volume with each node corresponding to a portion of the simulation space. A topological relationship between the nodes corresponds to spatial relationship thereof in the simulation space. The simulation volume is occupied by particles that interact with each other. The two particles are among these particles. The simulation volume includes node boxes, each of which is handled by one of the nodes. Each of the nodes is implemented as an application specific integrated circuit that includes a combination of first and second hardware elements. The first hardware elements are especially designed to perform pairwise interactions. The second hardware elements operate to provide potentially interacting particles to the first hardware elements.
